Serbian/Main Contents/Level 1/Lesson 2

Serbian language can be hard to master for foreigners, because words tend to have different forms in different contexts, then some words can sound similar to other non related words. Serbian has, like most Slavic languages, noun cases, and verbs tend to inflect quite liberally. Good news is that Serbian uses both Cyrillic and Latin alphabets, exception among European languages. Variation of Latin alphabet that Serbian uses is shared with two other languages, Croatian and Bosniak.

Serbian language has three grammatical genders (Masculine, Feminine and Neuter) and two grammatical numbers (Singular and Plural), in the past there was a third number, Dvojina used only for exactly two objects, but it is not used in modern Serbian.
